Snapchat accused of blackfacing and the age of outrage

Today's Episode

Doing business today can be a complicated mess. That's not to
say it has never been complicated. However, businesses have to be careful
about what they say, do, think, feel and place. Even employees have
to watch everything they do. Snapchat came under fire today for
their "blackface." Now maybe, it was not the best idea, but if it
was in partnership with the Bob Marley Estate, then, who is to
blame? This is the problem businesses face. As a marketing
professional ideas are going to have to be thought about. You are
going to have to tear them apart and reassemble them. Find out if
there is an "outrage" in your idea. I will say, that you cannot
make everyone happy. That does not mean you should not just throw
up your hands and do whatever ideas comes from your head.
However, businesses should take risks, but, they should be
calculated. Be sure you are equipped to handle the outrage. If you
need to, update your crisis communication plan. As the boy scouts
always say, "be prepared." Now, onto the show!

About the Podcast

This podcast dedicated to all things tech. The story of how this came about was ordinary, maybe, but what I want to do with it, is extraordinary. I was working at a coffee shop and pondered my love for coffee and tech. I have also grown up around tech. I also had a new passion for coffee. This idea stayed with me until I figured out the name. Digital Coffee was born. So, with this idea I look at tech as I do coffee. How is the “tech brewed?” In my reviews, I look at it as a taste test, except I don’t drink the tech. I mean, who would? If you do, please let me know how I can! Anyways, if you feel like this is a great space to learn and have fun with tech, then, feel free to support me. I don’t mind at all!
